Ominous Warning Found at Skyla Whitaker and Taylor Paschal-Placker Crime Scene

    print
 

On Wednesday, Skyla's father broke his silence and spoke about the murders during an interview with FOX23.com.

While walking down the same road where the girl's were killed, William said that he is constantly reminded of his daughter death, especially in his own home.

"I get up in the morning. I'll look over where she slept. All curled up in a sleeping bag part of the time where she would watch TV all night. She's not there, she's not there," William said.

While he remains thankful for the community support he has received, William is also mindful that there is nothing anyone can do to take away his pain.

"The only thing I want or need I can't ever have," he said, adding, "Those babies didn't do anything to anybody."

The bodies of 11-year-old Skyla Jade Whitaker and 13-year-old Taylor Dawn Paschal-Placker were discovered on the evening of June 8, in a ditch along County Line Road in Weleetka, Oklahoma. Autopsies on the victims revealed that the girls had been shot in the head and chest.  Investigators have yet to clarify how many times each girl was shot and will not comment on whether DNA evidence was found on their bodies.

Investigators are continuing their search for a "person of interest" who may have information about the slayings. The person of interest is described as an American Indian male, approximately 35-years-old and about 6-feet-tall, with dark hair and a ponytail. Witnesses said the man was standing near the crime scene, next to a white single cab pickup with an Oklahoma license tag.

The OSBI is offering a reward in excess of $30,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the murders. Anyone with information is asked to contact the OSBI hotline at 800-522-8017 or the Okfuskee County Sheriff's Office at 918-623-1122.
